Jayalalitha asks Kerala people not to pay heed to ‘ill-wishers’


December 7, 2011: Assuring that the 116-year-old Mullaperiyar dam was safe, Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalitha today appealed to the people of Kerala not to succumb “to the mechanisations of ill-wishers and unscrupulous mischief mongers”.
She also urged the political class of Tamil Nadu to desist from making inflammatory speeches that could affect cordial relations between the two states.
“I make a fervent appeal to the people of Kerala not to succumb to the mechanisations of ill-wishers and unscrupulous mischief mongers. Please do not indulge in acts of senseless violence and vandalism over an imaginary non-issue,” she said in a statement here.
Jaya’s appeal came on a day when violence and vandalism was reported on the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border with vehicles from this state being allegedly vandalised and even pilgrims bound for Sabarimala from Tamil Nadu being attacked allegedly by some who Jayalalithaa called “their brothers in Kerala”.
